Helena Charlotte Sigal

Helena Charlotte Sigal was born in Saarbrücken in 1996.

While still at school, she plays in the Saarländisches Staatstheater's youth club and works as an intern in various areas of the theatre. In ‘Das Geld’ (directed by Dagmar Schlingmann), she can be seen on the big stage for the first time and takes the play on a tour to the Ruhrfestspiele in Recklinghausen and to Thionville, France. 

After graduating from high school, Helena studied acting at the MUK - Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien from 2016 to 2020.

During a semester abroad at the Academy of Arts in Osijek, Croatia, Helena studied not only acting but also puppetry.

In 2019, she played Jess in the world premiere of ‘A Long Way Down’ by Nick Hornby (director: Christian Nickel) at the 68th Bad Hersfeld Festival. 

She made her first appearances in film and television on ‘SOKO Kitzbühel’ (ORF, ZDF) and ‘Schnell Ermittelt’ (ORF) and most recently on ‘Wer stiehlt mir die Show’ (ProSieben), where she was also the first wildcard candidate to win and was then allowed to present the show herself.

Since then she has occasionally hosted the Blue Moon programme on RBB's Radio Fritz.

At the 73rd Bad Hersfeld Festival, she was awarded the Grand Hersfeld Prize for her portrayal of Lena in ‘Wie im Himmel’ (director: Jörn Hinkel). 

Helena has been a member of the GRIPS Theatre ensemble since the 2020|2021 season.
